Hope everyone is having a great week...think we are all on board for base miles (10 miles Amanda) for Saturday...we'll meet at TT Elem School at 5:50 am for a tour thru TT. Hope to see everyone!

Please let us know what marathons you have on your calendars....we want to make sure you have a training program and people to run the long runs with you....the long runs won't happen for awhile but it is nice to know there will be someone there with you!!

Yes, it is hard to believe that April is here on Friday. Do you have a good April fool’s joke ready? The weather should be about 62 and dry on Saturday, so no excuses and that’s no joke. We had a good turn out last weekend and hope for the same this week. Always feel free to bring a running friend and have them try out our Galloway training group.

While running last week, the topic came up about weight loss and tracking your calories. There are a number of phone apps out there these days that help you track your calorie count and weight loss. In the past, I have told you about www.sparkpeople.com. It is a free website that allows you to track calories, fitness, nutrition, has recipes, blogs and has a great deal of health information that can be sent to your email if you wish. Try it out, its free!

Have you signed up for the Jeff Galloway running school yet? If not, go to www.jeffgalloway.com. It will be held on Sunday, May 22, 2011 from 8:30-11:30 at the Running Center on Dale Mabry Blvd.

Our annual kick off will start at 12:00 and will be free and open to the public. Galloway members get a 50% discount. Let Iris or Linda know if you wish to attend so that we can give you the discount code.

Speaking of apps, the message below was sent to me this week and you may be interested. Jeff’s app has music interwoven with the pace that you want in the workout. It sounds interesting.

This app has music interwoven into my coaching. I recorded the messages to lead you through the program, with tips along the way. The lolofit folks have a number of unique elements including matching the beat of the music with the pace of each element in the workout. Lolo has advanced technology and I know this will make training more interesting.

We have been away for a while, but Iris and I are back from Maui and ready to ready to see you all again in Temple Terrace. Please mark your calendars with the May 22 date for our annual kick-off with Jeff Galloway. The kick off will begin at 12 noon and open to the public at the Running Center, 14308 N. Dale Mabry Highway. Bill Davison is graciously opening his doors to us again. He has been a big supporter of our program from the beginning. If you need any running gear at that time, just remember that he gives registered Galloway runners a 10% discount.

Starting at 8:30 on May 22, Jeff Galloway will be having a 3 hour running school. He will be giving us more intensive and updated information during his three hour presentation and plenty of time to talk to him 1 on 1 and have him answer those running questions that you have been dying to ask him. You can find out once and for all just what acceleration gliders and cadence drills really are. The three hour running school does not include any running on our part, just verbal presentation. As a Galloway runner, you will receive a 50 % discount and the group leaders will be free that day. If you want to sign up for the running school, just email Iris or Linda and we will give you the code for your discount when you register. Registration is done on www.jeffgalloway.com. Group leaders will need to notify Iris or Linda if you want to attend.

Jeff Galloway is trying something new and it is absolutely free. He is starting a podcast with Kevin Gwin that can be downloaded to your computer or MP3 devise to listen while you run. More information can be obtained by going to thegallowayextramile@gmail.com. You do not have to buy anything to participate, but discounts are available to you if you wish to buy something from his website. Kevin Gwin has been doing this for a while and is pairing up with Jeff Galloway to incorporate the run- walk training method. An introduction was just started this week and the official podcast will start in April. You can also find more information at www.jeffgalloway.com.

The 30th Annual Wish Farms Strawberry Classic presented by Tampa Bay Runners will be happening in Temple Terrace this Saturday. You will need to park somewhere other than the elementary school parking lot. Some groups are parking at the library and some are starting their run at the rec center to avoid congested traffic when you are trying to leave. If you are interested in running in the 1 mile, 5K or 10K, you can register at Active.com. Please let your group leaders know what you intend to do.

The weather should be beautiful for running this weekend, so don’t waste it. Come on out and enjoy the gorgeous weather with your running buds. We hope to see you at 5:50 am.

This week we will be doing about 12 miles. Beth and Elisabeth will be taking the group again because I will be in Orlando. Rick and I are taking Rachel and my niece to Disney. Actually Rick and I are really looking forward to it. We haven’t been to Disney in years! My Yoga class was really good. I feel that I am learning so much. I really think I may even continue this and do a Yoga Therapy course. Yoga Therapy is actually physical therapy using Yoga. There are Restorative poses, which allow the body to relax and also to help people to use meditation to help to heal. I am pretty psyched about it. I only have 2 more classes to go to get my 200 Hour Certification and then I will take it easy, but start on Yoga Therapy. Since I must get CECs to keep m 200 hr. Certification, I will just continue with the Yoga Therapy.

Just a reminder, I will be back in TT on April 5th and the following week is the Iron Girl in Clearwater.
